Using Your Slow-Cooker For This Fondue Hack = GENIUS

Slow-cooker season typically means using the thing for stews, pulled pork, and (my favorite) potatoes. But what about heating up some dessert?

But we also use a genius hack for allowing you to cook two types of chocolate at once.

My coworker Candace first used this slow-cooker divider hack with savory dips—Game Day alert! It blew people's minds (obviously) and we knew we needed a sweet follow-up. The result: a Chocolate Fonduo, if you will. To make the divider, all you need is some aluminum foil and a slow-cooker liner, which sadly looks like you're serving guests food from a garbage bag, but you can't win 'em all.

Disclaimer: Fondue with semisweet chocolate chips is better than fondue with white chocolate chips. There's something about the way in which white chocolate is formulated that doesn't work quite as well as fondue. Semisweet chocolate gets nice and creamy, while the white chocolate retains a melted chocolate consistency. Still delicious, just not quite as indulgent :)
